Summary
This bill requires the Secretary of State to notify Congress at least 15 days before obligating funds for any new U.S. embassy or consulate construction project that uses a nonstandard design. The notification must include comparisons of estimated lifecycle costs, completion dates, and security features between the proposed nonstandard design and a standard design, along with justification for the nonstandard choice. The bill expresses the sense of Congress that the State Department should prioritize standardized designs and minimize customization in embassy and consulate construction.
